Cover story for Luxury Aficionados Magazine. Tales from a Cannes Aficionado This year is the first time in a while that I don’t go to Cannes during the Film Festival. I’m enjoying a family trip to New Mexico and Vermont. But my absence in Cannes doesn’t mean that you get out of me talking about it 😉 May is usually super busy because of the planning, events, work, meetings, jet lag, no sleep etc. I realize, I never had a moment to do a post about what happens in Cannes

Hi guys, I’m back in New Mexico for a family reunion. Yeah, I have siblings here and used to live here myself when I was in Junior High. The pic above is of my dad and I ready for take off CPH – ABQ… Currently, I’m sitting in the shade, sipping tea and eating cookies at The Santa Fe Institute reminiscing on when we first moved here. The American Adventure Part One The fall of 1988 became a complete game changer for me. My father was invited to work at

Dad and I at my grandparents farm in the Northern part of Zealand, Denmark Adventures and Quiet House with Dad Where my mother’s style of living was an inferno of being social in the commune my dad’s house was very quiet. He is a physicist and at that time he was doing his PHD so I had a lot of time to myself. In our house we only kept the most left wing, high brow newspaper ‘Information’ and we had no TV. We only listened to P1, which is the

The pictures are from the National Women’s Camp in courtesy of ‘Statsbiblioteket’ Lesbian Week I was probably 5 or 6 years old, when my mother, her cousin and 2 other women in our community house plus their 2 children decided we should go on a summer festival together. Great idea! Weather was superb and we had a whole week together to play and chill. Our destination was the National Women’s Camp during the infamous ‘Lesbian Week’. The camp was located on a small Danish island called ‘Femoe’. Come to

My beautiful mother and I Hi guys, During the time I’ve been working on the documentary about the emerging technologies and about my father and I, I’ve been asked to dive back into my past and talk about my upbringing. Like most people’s past, my memories are both bitter, sweet, fun, nostalgic, sad, filled with love and luckily I can only count very few regrets. I’ll share a few short chapters with you over the next week or two. Perhaps there will be things you can recognize from your own

Beautiful Copenhagen 3 short nights and very long days in Copenhagen later and I’m in the airport lounge again waiting to board the flight to Zürich. Again (!) It’s been an interesting week so far with good meetings, work and a bit of friends and family time too. Just got into Copenhagen this Tuesday. Dropped my bags and went into the Pilates studio to teach a few classes. A bit tired, but it feels great to exercise no matter how long a flight is. Me goofing around in the other

A snack in Brussels airport lounge before take off Recently I had a discussion about my lack of settling down in one city, getting a normal job and chilling a bit. It’s a recurring topic in my life that people like to bring up. That I should change my lifestyle. “You have not been happy in a long time”. ” We see you struggle”. “All the traveling is escapism”. And perhaps they are right. Even though I am very good at having fun, my life is not always easy. It

My father professor Steen Rasmussen and I at The Santa Fe Institute As some of you might know, I’ve been working on a documentary with my father about him, us, the emerging technologies (as in artificial life) and how these new living technologies are going to shape us, the next many generations and our World. I’m fascinated by the thought of synthetic biology and what can come of it. And of course the relationship with my father has been interesting as well to develop together i this movie. The movie

Dom Perignon and birthday chocolate cake from my man in Zürich during dinner at Lure. A total boss move from him and such a wonderful surprise! Hey guys, As you might noticed, I was so lucky to spend my birthday in the city that never sleeps. I was born on March 19th, which is a Sunday this year, but my ‘day’ sort of morphed into a whole weekend of celebration and birthday fun. Blurred lines between the days, but on point when it comes to adventures, New York moments, cake

Skyline view from the Brooklyn Bridge I’m back in CPH after an amazing NYC trip! That red eye transatlantic flight from NYC – CPH and going straight into work is a beast. I didn’t have the energy to post anything yesterday, but now, resurfaced from a good night’s sleep I can share a bit from my NYC adventure. Staying at 11 Howard feels like hanging with the cool kids in beautiful surroundings Every time I’m in NYC I wonder why I ever moved away in the first place. I
